Microbial Genomics Workshop

Get hands-on practical experience on next-generation sequencing (NGS) and their applications in clinical microbiology during this one-day workshop in London at the University of Westminster on 25 April 2019. Learn step-by-step how to easily and effectively analyze and manage NGS data generated by modern sequencing technologies.

The course is aimed at those with an interest in the applications of next-generation sequencing technologies in diagnostic microbiology.

From assembled genomes to detection of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, monitoring resistance in HIV and HBV, detection of virulence genes, detection of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as plasmids, bacteriophages.
